Figure 32: Elevation Offset Scale
6.
If a non-zero offset value is determined, adjust the position of the dish accordingly:
for positive offset, increase the elevation (e.g., the invoice indicates 33 degrees
elevation, and the elevation offset scale shows +1 degree; to compensate for
the pole deviation, set the elevation to 34 degrees).
for negative offset, decrease the elevation.
Threading the Cables into House
You may need to drill holes in order to thread the cables into the house. As wall
materials vary, you may need to contact your local specialist for advice on
particulars.
Make sure to drill these holes at an angle that prevents the water from seeping into
the house: when drilling from the outside, the drill must be pointed slightly
upwards.
Assembling Indoor Connectors
To make threading the cables through narrow openings an easier task, the indoor
ends of the cables have no connectors attached. This also allows you to adjust the
length of the cable removing the extra length.
You will need a cutter (and probably pliers as well) to connect the F-connectors.
To attach the F-connectors to the indoor ends of the cables:
1.
(Optional) Roll the excess cable into a coil, or shorten the cables to the desired
length if they are too long for your room layout.
